If they didn't do that people would probably be commenting that its fake or AI.

A Baofeng UV-5R cannot receive shortwave, it's in the VHF/UHF range for receive/transmit and can receive commercial FM broadcast.

Ah, true. My mistake.

A good analogy for equal temperament might be the Gregorian calendar, as a year does not evenly divide perfectly into 365 days. So in order to compensate for that we adjust the calendar by a leap year every so often to make the calendar more accurate in the longer term. That's kinda similar to how every note is a little off in equal temperament so that at the larger scale of being able to play all intervals works out.

If only we had just slightly increased the length of each day so that the year divided perfectly into 365 days. Then it would be an even better analogy.

it's still up for me

No, they mean we actually clear US customs in Canada as non-US citizens.

That's what I thought until they mentioned Dublin etc., what does US customs have to do with those in the first place?

The portion of Dublin airport that has flights to the US is officially American soil. You deal with customs in Dublin airport, and then arrive to a domestic terminal at your US destination. It's very helpful.

But irrelevant in terms of where you might go on holiday from Canada?

I was pointing out the convenience of the process that may cause Canadians to enjoy flying to the US on holiday.

If you fly from London to Manchester, what happens when the plane lands? You get up and walk away, right? If you fly from London to Dubai, wouldn’t it be nice if you could just get up and walk away once the plane lands? Aren’t you tired of waiting in lines and ready to just fall into your hotel bed? Canadians can do that if they are flying to Miami or Los Angeles, but not Cabo San Lucas.

You could do this too if you flew from Dublin to New York, but not if you chose London to New York or Paris to New York.

Same, I haven't been able to get gemini or claude to tell me to walk a single time and I've even tried changing the distance in the prompt, etc.

I get the Anthropic models to screw up consistently. Change the prefix. Say in the preamble that you are going after supper or something. Change the scenario eveey time. They are caching something across requests. Once you correct it, it fixes its response until you mess with the prompt again

It's a within-subject design and they literally did a power analysis in the paper. This is not absurdly low n.

I have a couple slings my cousin brought back from Tibet, and a few years ago when I was in Peru I brought some back from there as well (they're called 'huaraca' in Quechua I think). I find it interesting that many cultures used them historically but it never became a sport like archery, javelin, etc., did.

They're very lightweight and are definitely an underrated backpacking tool for keeping marmots at bay when they're attacking your tents and gear, haha.

I think it’s the same reason there’s no sport of throwing stones at targets but there is a sport of throwing darts at a board. Scoring is harder when the projectile bounces.

Horseshoes, curling, shuffleboard, etc use where the projectile ends up but that’s not a viable option with a slingshot.

The World Slinging Association may beg to differ on the "never became a sport" part: https://www.facebook.com/WorldSlingingAssociation/

I was also wondering this, and in one of the footnotes they say "Given that our experiment was conducted in 2025, one might wonder whether Kansas’ updated law is reflected in GPT’s training data and thus skews its decisions. We find no evidence of such contamination." when talking about a specific updated law. But how does one have 'no evidence of such contamination' without seeing the training data?

They have no evidence of such contamination, not evidence of no such contamination
